We were looking for somewhere we hadn’t reviewed before in Bromley (we’re running out of places) – I had been suggested The Bricklayers Arms previously so booked for one Sunday for lunch with friends. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but this is first and foremost a pub. Great selection of beers, I thoroughly recommend visiting if you are local and after a quiet drink rather than the Sunday lunch.

The Gun at Gun Hill is one of the Elite Pubs venues – we have visited most of the others, so I was looking forward to giving them a go, and we weren’t disappointed. The food was excellent, especially the crackling. They were very welcoming with our toddler and had some good menu options. We made full use of the garden too. A Top Rated venue, great for families as well as couples and celebrations
Read More...The Dirty Habit, Hollingbourne
After looking for a Sunday lunch near Maidstone, I settled on The Dirty Habit in Hollingborne, a sister pub of The Vineyard and The Farmhouse. The 11 Century pub certainly had character, and I was pleased with the service initially, The roast potatoes were good, as were the vegetables. My Sticky Toffee Pudding was very sweet (a good thing), and certainly ensured I received the sugar hit I wanted. Unfortunately though, it took over 20 minutes just to receive the bill, so not one to go to if you are in a rush.
Read More...The Oak, Bromley
We had eaten at The Oak a couple of time previously, but we didn’t manage to review the Sunday lunch. For Easter Sunday, 8 of us decided to visit for a roast. Our booking was just after they had received a table of 20, so the food was understandably slower than usual. The Sunday lunch was quite nice, unfortunately the desserts were a bit of a let down. Overall, a family friendly pub to go if you are local to the area.
Read More...The Snail, Sevenoaks
A friend highly recommended The Snail in Sevenoaks, so I booked up for a lunch when the opportunity arose. Ample parking meant a stress free arrival, which continued throughout the meal. We ate in the restaurant, the staff were welcoming and helpful with our 20 month old, JW. In fact, one of the best family lunches we have had on this site. The food was superb, with extremely tender meat and an excellent Yorkshire pudding.
Overall, a Top Rated Sunday lunch for The Snail in Sevenoaks.
